The 1755 Mitchell Map, created by John Mitchell for the Earl of Halifax, was designed to assert British territorial claims and influence colonial policy during the rivalry with France. It became a key tool for shaping expansion strategies and later treaty negotiations. This 2025 remapped version reclaims Indigenous history by emphasizing Native American villages and their significance before colonial encroachments. Featuring bilingual names and histories in English and the Cherokee Syllabary, it honors Native heritage while supporting efforts to preserve and revitalize Indigenous languages.
